Verizon Network Coverage Map

Verizon covers over 70% of the United States with 4G LTE network coverage area. This is where a majority of the people reside translating to 99% reach according to Verizon. This means chances are that Verizon has 4G LTE coverage where you live. To get the fastest internet connectivity, set up Verizon APN.

Verizon also has 5G network though coverage is not as wide as 4G. This is because 5G is relatively new and is still being rolled out across many places in the US. Verizon runs two bands of 5G, high band, also called 5G millimeter Wave or 5G ultra Wideband (5G UW), and mid band 5G also called C-band and Verizon calls it 5G nationwide.

5G Nationwide has speeds higher than 4G but fast by any standard. It uses the mid and low band frequencies that Verizon earlier used for 4G LTE coverage.

5G Ultra Wideband is fastest form of 5G often at 2Gbps which is about 38 times faster than 4G but has extremely limited range. 5G high band needs a lot of antennas installed and for this reason it is suitable for urban and highly populated areas. The Verizon Ultra Wide band runs on the 28GHz and 39GHz frequencies.

The map below shows 5G Ultra Wideband, 5G Nationwide and 4G LTE.

Zoom in and out to your location of interest to find coverage.
